America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 562 The Smith Empire ready for integration

  Actually, Abel has thought about making a lighthouse, and it has always been a lighthouse.

  In this way, he, the owner of the lighthouse, can also stay on the top of the lighthouse all the time, letting the whole world bathe in his light.

   But the reality is that since Li Gen came to power decades ago and began to implement the new seed oil doctrine.

  After decades, it has long been impossible for a lighthouse to be a lighthouse. Its degenerate fate is doomed, and capital has already written a future script for it.

   No matter how fierce people fall from the sky, as long as they can't be cleaned and remodeled from bottom to top, then no matter how many fierce people there are, it won't help.

  Why did Master Luo have a cerebral hemorrhage? Because he wanted to turn the lighthouse into a real lighthouse.

  Why did Kennedy open his mind? After Master Luo, he is the second commander who wants to change the status quo.

  From the root, the depravity here has long been doomed.

   Without the ability to change the world, it won't work for anyone. And even with this ability, what is needed is a whole group, not just one or two people.

   This is the realization that Abel came to after he climbed to a high position in this order.

  So since then, he has not thought about any great future.

  What he wanted was self-protection, and what he wanted was to preserve his own strength as much as possible in the fall of the huge empire.

  In this process, he will naturally compete with other capitals for the wealth of the fallen empire, and grow himself to make himself stronger.

   This is why he chose to enter the medical complex, a system that has been thoroughly corrupted.

  First of all, he wants to make these people feel that he is his own, and secondly, the fate of the fall is irresistible, so he simply uses the fall of the empire as the nourishment for his own rise.

   In Florida, after getting Cardina's health settled, Abel was not in a hurry to leave immediately.

  He stayed until late April, then left the southernmost state on International Labor Day.

  During the period, in addition to mainly integrating the pharmaceutical giant Cardina Health.

   As the chairman of Smith Media, he announced that he would invest more than US$10 billion in Florida within 10 years.

  The investment involves a theme park with the theme of Marvel heroes, as well as a series of movie theme parks.

  Miami is a kingdom of paradise, here is the largest zoo in the United States, Disneyland, Sea Animal Park and Universal Park, etc.

  Abel declared to the outside world that he would provide Florida with more than 100,000 jobs in at least 10 years.

   In short, it is just to make a look—although you Florida guys attacked me, but I have a lot of adults, not only do not blame you, but also bring you benefits.

  Let’s not talk about the essence, anyway, the appearance and scenes are considered to be enough.

   In May, he returned to New York.

  New York in May is even more charming. The air seems to have made up its mind, as long as it doesn't rain, it will always be clear and clear.

  The trees in Central Park have long been verdant. The sky seems to be unfathomably high, and the glass of the high-rise building reflects the sun luxuriously, shining on Abel's face in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. After being refracted by the high-tech glass, there is no ultraviolet light and excessive energy, so it will not make people feel hot.

  Of course, returning from the fiery Miami to New York, where the climate is more variable, the feeling is still different. Fortunately, the temperature in the homes of the rich is always like spring all year round with the blessing of the high-tech fresh air system.

   Abel, who returned to New York the afternoon before, did not choose to run around anymore. He first spent a peaceful and comfortable day and night with Keira.

  Britney came over the next night.

  What is she doing here? Just look at the way the overlapping figures are entangled to death on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

After a while, Britney, wearing a cool silk nightgown, came out of the bathroom with a newspaper in her hand, followed by the sound of toilet flushing. Abel looked back at her and said with a smile, "You can read it anytime. Newspaper? Or while going to the bathroom."

Britney, who was in a stable state, her beautiful and delicate face became more and more hydrated. At this moment, she was sullen and coquettish, and hit Abel several times with the newspaper in her hand. You must know that in order to satisfy the **** Abel She will inevitably suffer a little bit because of his request. Fortunately, he only chooses occasionally when he is interested.

  Under normal circumstances, she is still happy to satisfy him.

   "Okay, let's have breakfast. I have an important video conference at 10 am. What's next for you?"

   "Preparing for a new album, and my first real world tour concert!" Britney said with a little hope, and took the breakfast handed over by the maid by the way, and spread the napkin on the moonset.

  Because of someone's bad taste, she felt that she might not be able to go out today.

   Pain, now I don't even want to go out of my bedroom.

   So breakfast is also eaten in the bedroom.

   "I remember when you were at Sony, you seemed to have held a world tour concert?" Abel asked uncertainly.

   Once Britney became famous, it was the kind that became popular all over the world in a short period of time—at least in the European and American world.

  Sony, an inhumane music company, how could she let go of her hottest status and not squeeze her?

  So at that time, she almost worked 364 days a year, 365 days a year, and worked and traveled for 20 hours a day.

   It was like this for several years until I met Abel.

  With such high-intensity work, normal people will become abnormal...

  So in fact, she has held concerts all over the world, I don’t know how many times she has held.

   "That's why I call it a real global tour concert!" Britney said sweetly: "The ones before can only be called work! But now, it is my real dream!"

  Abel shrugged: "As long as you are happy."

  At nine o'clock in the morning, Abel came to the office area downstairs from the crown top floor of Smith Building on time.

   It’s good to live on the Smith Crown Flat Floor. The downstairs is the company’s headquarters.

  You don’t need to go out, you can directly take the private elevator to reach the headquarters of any of your companies in New York.

   At 10:00 am.

  In the conference room, Abel listened to the CEOs of various companies present and in the video report to himself, the big boss, the performance and problems of their respective companies in the recent period with quick and concise figures.

   This is a regular meeting, the kind that is held every month.

  Abel didn’t ask about the details, but listened carefully to the reports of his subordinates, and quickly compared his brain with the information given to him by the think tank.

  To be honest, even with Abel’s photographic memory ability, he feels that with more and more companies and industries under his control, the things to remember and manage are becoming more and more trivial and scattered.

   It seems imperative for the company to carry out another integration!

  Smith Media Group integrates media, entertainment and sports. This aspect can be regarded as the most successful integration, and the rotating CEO system has also been implemented perfectly, so we can basically ignore it.

  The same is true for finance. After Smith Financial Group annexed the core financial industry of the Texas consortium, it has become a school of its own in the United States and even the world's financial circles.

  Under certain conditions, the current Smith Financial Group is even qualified to talk to the governments of the world's major powers, just like Morgan Stanley and Rockefeller's Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley.

  So the financial aspect is actually very perfect. There is no need to continue the integration, at least for now.

  Abel feels that the next step is to reorganize and form the industry of the group company.

  Mainly in IT technology, energy mining, supermarket agriculture, more specifically manufacturing and energy.

   For example, he intends to consolidate the holding companies of all IT and high-tech companies under his name.

  Communication Semiconductor Technology Group with Qualcomm as the main body, AMD and Texas Instruments as the new company and Tesla as the subsidiary.

   It also influences and controls a large number of companies in Silicon Valley through various shareholding and independent directors.

  It is already 2003, and the IT group has been integrated within the past two years.

   In about two years, the mobile Internet will begin to explode. In the era of the information explosion after the emergence of the Internet, the explosion will be even more violent.

  Smartphones, tablet computers, new energy vehicles, and various software and software based on these products are a comprehensive and diversified industry with a unit of trillions of dollars.

  It will be the main source of continued growth of the US economy and GDP in the next decade or so.

  In order to make the US stock market look better, in order to deter other powerful countries in the world. The US federal government and the shadows behind the scenes will spare no effort to promote the progress of this industry.

  The new group can take advantage of this shareholder style and become the most important part of it before the arrival of the new era.

  In terms of energy and mining, Pacific Energy is the mainstay, and it is striving to become the main body after the Anadarko Petroleum Company is annexed. Then there are energy mining groups supplemented by subsidiaries that are not yet conspicuous, but have acquired lithium mines all over the world.

  In fact, strictly speaking, compared with the previous IT technology, the energy mining group is more valued by Abel.

  No matter how powerful your IT technology is, if there is no energy and mining support behind it, it will be duckweed in the sky. Whether it is an Apple mobile phone, an Android computer or a Tesla new energy vehicle, in the final analysis, it still needs to be made of materials.

  No matter what the manufacturer in the middle is, the material supplier behind it, as the most upstream existence, will always have a special status.

  And to put it bluntly in this world, the ultimate source of all industries is energy.

  Without energy, everything is useless, even the earth is useless without the energy of the sun...

   Then there is Shangchao Agriculture. Abel intends to integrate Pacific Supermarket and Smith Agriculture, as well as a series of other small companies of the same type, to build it into a super group integrating production, processing, sales and online business.

  This aspect mainly involves people's livelihood, as well as the first two most important in basic necessities of life.

   It's just that this group may not be as good as IT technology and mining energy.

   It’s not that Abel is reluctant to invest, but that this field has long been occupied by local snakes in various states in the United States.

   Of the four major grain merchants in the world, there are three ABCDs in the United States, and they are Abel's main competitors in this regard.

  Limited by the terrifying local protectionism, no matter how rich and capable Abel is, he will not be able to open up too many markets.

  At present, Abel can only guarantee that in Texas and two or three nearby states, as well as California and New York, the group can develop steadily.

  In other states, it will probably take a few hard times, and there may even be several attacks like Florida, before he can get what he wants.

  Finally, there is Cardinal Health, which has just been acquired. Abel has no plans to integrate this company into his own system.

   For a long time, Abel only regarded Cardina's health as his admission ticket to enter the medical complex.

  All he needs is for this complex to see him as "one of his own". Then, by the way, make billions of dollars for yourself.

  Everyone is crazy about fishing in it, and for no reason, Abel Smith just watches and doesn't fish.

   This aspect is the same as that he asked Rock Security to set up PMC, put his hand into the soup made by the military-industrial complex, and eat and drink soup with them.

  The Smith Wisdom Company (Smith Thinking Group), which was established to facilitate the settlement of think tank funds, can be directly used as a cross-shareholding parent company to centrally manage its industries.

  The 1450 Network Consulting Group and several other subsidiaries are also included.

  As for Rock Security, the Smith family office and other forces, those are his personal things and will not be included in this integration.

  Furthermore, this integration can also clarify the cooperation with other partners and the Texas consortium, making the rights and responsibilities more clear, allowing Abel to better control and influence the Texas consortium and the New York Hydra Gang.

  If Kayla can take power quickly, maybe he can influence the California consortium more.
